Recycling
There is not a lot of recycling here in Trinidad but I did find one example.

World Cup
The World Cup came to Trinidad this year. It was for U-17 Womens Soccer. 
Canada had a team competing. We went to their game against Brazil. The game was held in the Manny Ramjohn Stadium which is 5 minutes from my office in Marabella.
Mimi and some of our friends took the water taxi down from Port of Spain to San Fernando, where I met them. We went to Soong's Great Wall Restaurant for dinner (yes, chinese food) and then went to the game. They lost the match 3-0. Brazil was quite good.
The celebrity in the stands was retired NHL'er Russ Courtnall. His daughter was playing for Canada.
That's her being carried off by her teammates at the end of the game.

NAPA
NAPA is the National Academy for the Performing Arts here in Trinidad. 
We havent been in it yet. The building has been open for more than a year but the website for it is still 'under construction'.... 
so you cant find out what events may be scheduled inside it.
Too bad.

Office with a view
Out the side windows of our office is the view of the Petrotrin Refinery. It is currently going through some upgrades. Hopefully the upgrades will reduce the amount of gas they are flaring. 
I count 8 flare stacks all burning off natural gas.

Canadian Cricket
Cricket in the rainy season is subject to the weather. It is also the most popular sport here in Trinidad. 
We tried to watch Canada play a cricket match here.
They were here playing in a 20/20 cricket tournament. This match was against the Leeward Islands. A 20/20 cricket match can be played in ~ 3 hours instead of Test cricket which takes 5 days or something. 
Well, it wasn't raining when we got there but when it started, it never stopped. The locals are very patient when it comes to cricket. A deck of cards can come in handy. 
The match was cancelled.

Scaffolding 101
Adjacent to our office there was some house painting going on. They had set up the scaffolding. 
I am pretty sure it is supposed to be parallel to the ground (and not parallel to the roof line) but I would be more concerned with someone opening the door on the right and having the whole thing come tumbling down. 
The painting was completed without incident.

Peacock Moth
Along the wall of the campus of UTT... 
there are large signs showing off some of the local exotic flora and fauna of Trinidad. One of the signs shows off the Peacock Moth. It is about 4" across. 
Lo and behold we had one drop by our office 
and stayed on the window for most of the afternoon.
